Flats Trail Half Marathon

FLATS Trail Half Marathon is a point-to-point 13.1-mile race held in Kirksville, Missouri, along the shores of Forest Lake. Runners traverse hills, rocks, roots, fast singletrack, and occasional water crossings, with seven aid stations and a well-marked course featuring lake views and forest scenery. The event emphasizes community and inclusion, with enthusiastic volunteers and a festive post-race celebration.

Proceeds benefit the Forest Lake Area Trail System to support trail building and maintenance. Top finishers win prize money, and age-group winners receive commemorative pint glasses, while finishers earn a custom medal and a soft t-shirt. There are accessibility and transfer provisions.
